NARUTO 568: Acceptance
The chapter begins with Naruto holding open the mouth of the Four-Tails. He uses his overwhelming strength to push it even further, and smiles beatifically.
Inside Naruto's mind...
Naruto: So it looks like you're finally willing to work with me. I knew you'd come to sooner or later!
Naruto gives the Kyuubi the thumbs up signal.
Kyuubi: Shut your mouth, you infant! I am the Nine-Tailed Fox...I don't work for anyone! I am my own master! The only reason I'm helping you out now is so I don't get captured myself. I don't care about you!
Naruto's grin does not cease, instead becoming larger and more radiant.
Naruto: Nine-Tails, I know you don't mean that! You're finally relieved that there's someone who won't abuse you! But that's going to change...we'll defeat those who mistreated you in the past!
The Kyuubi's face contorts, a clear sign that he is highly uncomfortable. He recalls a certain encounter with an individual, having taken place over 60 years ago.
The Kyuubi stares wildly into space, its eyes bloodshot. It is filled with extreme hatred, and struggles to look at the individual who has invaded his peace and quiet.
Kyuubi: Show yourself, you coward! Whoever you think you are, you're an insigificant ant compared to me!
Unidentified: That's a rather interesting way of putting it, Nine-Tails. Of course, you fail to realize that it's my power which currently has you enslaved...
Kyuubi: Power...Sharingan?! Uchiha?!
Unidentified: ...
The Nine-Tails becomes even angrier.
Kyuubi: You and your entire accursed clan are murderers and plunderers! Why the Sage of the Six Paths didn't kill that bastard elder son of his, I'll never know! It's only given rise to a population of liars, swindlers, and savages who'd just as soon kill their own brothers for power as look at them!
Unidentified: ...
Kyuubi: You barbaric beasts will be undone by your own greed and deceit! Mark my words, asshole!!
The figure steps into the light. It is none other than Uchiha Madara.
Madara: Apparently you haven't realized, Nine-Tails. It's you who's the animal, and it's you who will be treated as such. Your only purpose, along with the other tailed beasts, was to prevent the resurrection of the Ten-Tails. A beast that I have every intention of reviving.
Madara: As for your preconceived notions regarding the Sharingan, know that this power in my eyes isn't any ordinary Sharingan...it's the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, the very same doujutsu the Sage you speak so highly of possessed.
Kyuubi: !!
Madara: That's right...don't think he didn't take desperate measures in order to protect what was his. That might also explain why he couldn't kill his elder son. It turns out he had a soft spot in his heart for him all throughout his life, even after seeing what he'd done to their family...
...
The Kyuubi chakra that the fox donated to Naruto becomes so powerful that the latter is now holding the Four-Tails' mouth open with only one arm.
Naruto: I won't let you down, Nine-Tails!
Naruto prepares a Futon: Rasenshuriken, and aims it directly inside the beast's mouth.
Naruto: Eat this!
The scene switches to Jugo and Suigetsu. They walk through Orochimaru's hideout, hoping to find someone to talk to.
Jugo: This place is abandoned, Suigetsu. We should leave.
Suigetsu: Not yet. Someone has been here recently...I can feel it.
Walking deeper into the lair, Jugo and Suigetsu eventually discover a door that is ajar. They peer inside the room, but can't see much of anything.
Suigetsu: What do you reckon's inside?
Jugo: I don't know...all I can tell you is that this place is beginning to frighten me. I'm really getting the feeling that we shouldn't be here.
Suigetsu: What's with you, man? You've been acting like such a scared little girl lately!
Jugo: I'm being cautious. We haven't been here in months, and suddenly we're going to enter the private room of one of the most manipulative and psychopathic individuals on the planet.
Suigetsu: Nothing will happen. We'll take a quick look inside, and go. Happy?
Jugo acquiesces. Opening the door very carefully, they slowly walk inside and find the room in complete disarray. Torture devices lie on the ground ruined, and there are disconnected wires everywhere. Lights flash on and off, and water is dripping from the ceiling. Large chunks of the wall have been broken off, and surgery tables exist in decay, having been destroyed.
Suigetsu: What the hell...happened here?
Jugo: A revolt of some sort, perhaps?
Suigetsu: No...Orochimaru would never give up his research. Whoever's experiment this was, something went wrong and they were forced to abandon it. Could it be...?
Jugo: Suigetsu, look. There's something on that table over there.
Jugo and Suigetsu walk towards the material, and look at it with puzzled reactions. It is a white, viscuous fluid that carries the consistency of honey.
Jugo: I have no idea what any of this means.
Suigetsu: Neither do I. Maybe if I...
Suigetsu touches the material with his index finger, and analyzes it.
Suigetsu: Why would any of Orochimaru's henchmen mess around with this stuff? It's absolutely usele-
Suddenly, the pool of liquid moves, and begins forming an organism. Before long, ten white Zetsu clones stand partially crouched in front of the two. Suigetsu and Jugo stare, shocked at the sight.
Suigetsu: What the fuck are these things?!
The clones attack.
The scene switches to Edo Madara's battle with the Five Kage. Both sides are locked in a stalemate, with neither landing a decisive blow on the other.
Mei: Nothing we try works! At this rate, we're going to run out of chakra!
Onoki: Consider the opposite, Mizukage! So far, we've been parrying each and every one of Madara's blows. Neither has an advantage, but that must change!
Tsunade: The Uchiha are inherently soldiers of war. It's no surprise that Madara possesses this monstrous stamina. But the Tsuchikage is right...we can't remain deadlocked forever!
Gaara remains silent, while A silently vents his frustration.
Suddenly, Madara's eyes widen, and he remains motionless for several moments.
Madara: What...is this chakra? It's so dark...
Madara turns to Mu.
Madara: Kabuto...what is that energy? My powers allow me to detect large or potent amounts of chakra, and right now I'm sensing a lethal force, very far away from here.
Kabuto: !!
Kabuto: It appears Sasuke's transplant has concluded, then. So that shaking I heard earlier wasn't just a regular earthquake...this changes everything.
Kabuto: Well, you're right in saying that there's a powerful chakra here. You might find it interesting that the person in question is an Uchiha, just like yourself. And his eyes are exactly the same as yours...the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.
Madara: Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan...that doujutsu was supposed to die with me. What Uchiha out there currently has it? The only other person I can think of is Izuna, but he's...
Kabuto: Well, if you must know, the Uchiha clan was massacred decades after you died.
Madara: ?!
Madara: ...Massacred?
Kabuto: Yes. By a very talented Shinobi known as Itachi Uchiha. It is his younger brother, Sasuke Uchiha, who took his eyes and acquired the doujutsu you currently have. I can say with a fair amount of certainity that the younger will surpass the older by leaps and bounds. The sole member of the once proud Uchiha clan, he is.
Madara: Sasuke and Itachi...Kabuto. Take me to them once I finish up here. I want to meet these two brothers.
Kabuto smiles devilishly.
Kabuto: I can certainly arrange that. As a matter of fact, they're both heading my way now.
The scene switches to Naruto and company's battle against Tobi and the Pain Rikudou.
The Four-Tails is lying unconscious, and Kakashi and Gai have defeated the Two-Tails. Killer Bee has recovered.
Gai: It was all in the power of my youth, Kakashi! The sooner you embrace it, the stronger you'll become!
Kakashi: No..I think it was all in the power of Naruto's youth.
Kakashi and Gai look at Naruto, whose new Kyuubi Chakra Mode is of an orange color. His chakra shroud is more durable, and extends from his body farther than it did before. Almost like a miniature Susanoo.
Naruto: Kakashi-sensei, Uncle Bee, eyebrow sensei, this new mode is amazing! My attacks are stronger than they ever were!
Killer Bee: Muthafucka, you look amazing! All the opponents you're razing!
Tobi stands in front of the remaining paths he has, and glares at the opposition.
Tobi: Uzumaki Naruto, you've truly made a name for yourself. But not even that mode will be enough to counter this Rinnegan technique, the strongest of them all...
Naruto: Rinnegan?!
Naruto looks frantically at Kakashi and Gai.
Kakashi: Don't worry. There's nothing he can do with that eye that we don't already know about.
Tobi: You're wrong on that count, Hatake Kakashi. This is one jutsu Nagato never got to show.
Tobi makes a hand seal.
Tobi: Hell Realm: Purified Soul Extraction!
